It may also be an opportunity to renumber this service Cat4 or possibly Cat10, to bring it in with the other Stockton Heath / Cheshire services (to account for this, possibly either renumber the present 4 as 3A or the present 10/10A as 1A/2A).
Cheshire's Own Buses, anyone? haha

And F19 HOW (W409 JAT) Given Ian Howard's dislike for Warrington's Own Buses he probably doesn't want to see that picture. Although, it's not in WOB livery and running the 48 route - at least not yet.

Out of interest should Halton Borough Transport disappear could Warrington's Own Buses easily take over Halton's 62 Halebank-Sandymoor/Warrington service?

They might put on more buses at the Warrington end, but there are alternative services between Halton Hospital / Shopping Centre (Halton Lea) to Runcorn Old Town & Widnes, so I would be a little surprised if they showed much interest in the Widnes end of the 62.
